"Shao Dianxi was deprived of his title and official position by us, and now he is still exiled to Hengfu City, who dares to guarantee that he will not hold a grudge against us?

Elder Yu understands this truth, there is no need to make it difficult for us now, besides, he has already received benefits, he has to do something for us, and he will deal with the matter of appeasing Shao Dianxi. ”

Ding Kui was worried that he wouldn't explain clearly, and said, "If you have a chance, you can ask your mother, she must see more clearly than me." ”

"It's complicated. Shaodian Luan rubbed his temples, "I'll go back to the Hou Mansion today." ”

"You're not going to accompany Yuanyuan?"

"The ancestor is in retreat and won't let me go. Shaodian Luan looked melancholy.

She has been living in the palace just to facilitate her access to the royal forbidden land, and Shaodian Huan is guarding against Ding Kui not her, so that she can see her son often.

"Why don't you let your child see his father? ”

Ding Kui was very annoyed but helpless.

"It's better for you to go back to the Hou Mansion and help me receive some of the guests. ”

"Huh? Shaodian Luan wrinkled his nose, "Do you want to consider the people of the Tantai family?"

As the saying goes, distant water can't quench the thirst of the near, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the team of Nanjing City can't come to the capital all at once, so it's a good idea to find someone nearby to help.

Ding Kui stepped forward and kissed him, and praised: "Wonderful! Grandpa's face is big enough to receive distinguished guests above the Duke of China for us, and my cousin and cousin can also block some young people, why are you so smart!"

"Hmph, I'm not at home, you don't know anything. Shaodian Luan raised his eyebrows and exhaled.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, a small group of cavalry galloped over.

"The front line is urgent, please Deputy Commander Ding immediately rush to the commander's palace to discuss matters. ”

This is the first time that the Commander's Office has summoned Ding Kui to participate in the deliberations, and the herald does not belong to the General Staff, indicating that this time it should be discussed by the five ministries, and it seems that the matter is not small.

"You go back to the house to rest first, and I'll come when I go. Ding Kui jumped out of the car and drove after speaking.

When the guards came to the horses, he turned over and mounted them, and the herald led the way to the commander's palace.

Sure enough, the commanders and deputy commanders of the five departments gathered in the lobby of the commander's mansion, and the young commanders stood in the high hall.

"The front line reported urgently, Yang Feng led the 17th Army Corps to rebel, colluded with the rebels to sneak attack the defense area of the Fourth Army Corps, and has now defeated the Fourth Army Corps, leading 300,000 troops to the base camp of the northern defense line of the Wangzhou Theater. Jiang Xi gave a military briefing.

"It's Yangfeng again!" Ding Kui gritted his teeth.

Gongsun Da squinted at Ding Kui and asked, "Does Deputy Commander Ding have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Ding Kui was about to ask for war, but when the words came to his lips, his heart suddenly moved, and he changed his words: "I haven't asked you for advice, and the officials are listening." ”

"At such a young age, I don't know who taught me. "Gongsun Da doesn't like to see Ding Kui very much.

"The juniors ask you for advice, you don't know, or you don't want to answer. "Long Kun helped.

"Ahem!" Shao Dianzhang deliberately cleared his throat, "If the base camp of the northern defense line is lost, the capital is in danger, and the military situation is urgent, please give advice to the commanders to retreat from the enemy." ”

As soon as the handsome lord spoke, it was quiet again, and Ding Kui felt that there were a few glances peeking at him, and one of them came from the hall.

So he stubbornly said: "I am willing to lead all the way to the rescue." ”

I only heard Wang Deng sigh beside him: "Hey, there are no troops near the capital, for today's plan, I can order the first army and the tenth army to withdraw to the north of Zhenjing City to fortify, and at the same time order the southern defense line to transfer men and horses, and quickly go north to threaten the enemy's flank." ”

There are no reinforcements.

Ding Kui nodded secretly, knowing what the reason was.

"What Lord Wang said is extremely true, the lower officials think that the new Fifth and Ninth Army Corps can be transferred to the north, and cooperate with the First and Tenth Army Corps to counterattack the rebels, which should be able to stabilize the situation. ”

His opinion seems to be the same as Wang Deng's, only specific to a certain legion, but the actual significance is far greater than Wang Deng's.

"The New Fifth Army Corps and the Ninth Army Corps have been transferred, do you still want the southern defense line?" Gongsun Da's reproach came again.

"It's okay, the Eighth Army Corps and the Protector Army are not far from the southern defense line of Zhenwangzhou, and the lower official can order them to cross the river immediately and rush to the southern defense line. Ding Kui knew that the person who peeked at him was waiting for this sentence.

"The National Protector Army, not to mention whether we admit to this number or not, the department is only tens of thousands of people, can it make up for the gap in the strength of the southern defense line?"

He will not have a good impression of Ding Kui.

"The Protector Army can follow the precedent of the Anguo Army, and if the private armies of other nobles can reach the same size and combat effectiveness, they can also be temporarily incorporated into the regular army sequence, but the military merit does not belong to the individual. Shaodian Zhang spoke.

He really needs Ding Kui to transfer troops from the south over, and he wants to be established for establishment, and he wants military funds for military funds, as long as he can fight, he can say anything.

Military merits do not belong to the individual refers to the nobles who do not belong to the private army, such as the military exploits of the Protector Army should be recorded in the command of the Commander's Office, and the troops and generals participating in the war can be rewarded for their merits, but Ding Kui has no credit.

Yang Feng's rebellion caught the Commander's Mansion off guard.

Originally, there were 400,000 troops stationed in the northern defense line, but now 100,000 rebels have been turned into rebels, 100,000 have been defeated, the situation of the 1st Army and 10th Army Corps is unknown, and there are only less than half of the troops left, which cannot compete with the corresponding 500,000 rebels at all.

Once the defense line is breached, the enemy army can come to the town at any time, and the court may have another king.

The enemy in the northern line of defense must be repulsed, otherwise all the commanders of the Commander's Office can submit their resignations en masse.

"The Protector Army is at least better than the New Fifth Army in combat effectiveness. Ding Kui didn't look at Shaodianji.

"Yang Feng is the commander of the northern defense line, we must send a commander to rebuild the northern defense line, and the Eighth Army Corps and the Protector Army are not easy to command, the commander of the southern defense line ......" Xun Qi said while aiming at Ding Kui.

"Xia Guan is willing to go to the southern defense line. Ding Kui also knew that his troops were difficult for others to command.

"That Yangfeng is not good at it, who is going to rebuild the northern defense line?" Jiang Xi was also aiming at Ding Kui.

"Do you want Deputy Commander Ding to be split in half?" Long Kun didn't understand what Jiang Xi meant.

"The commander can recommend to the king to promote Ding Kui as the general of counterinsurgency, control the counterinsurgency forces, and be fully responsible for counterinsurgency operations. Shao Dianzhang threw out a plan that shocked everyone.

Shaodian Ji and Gongsun Da shouted: "No!"

The rank of the general is above the commander of the five divisions, and it is lower than the commander, but the general of the counterinsurgency is time-sensitive, and it will be withdrawn after the counterinsurgency is over.

Jiang Xi arched his hand and said, "My lord is wise." ”

Shaodian Zhang turned to Shaodian Ji and Gongsun Da and asked, "Who will rebuild the northern defense line of the two of you?" His meaning is obvious, if you oppose my plan, you will stand up and command the army against Yangfeng.

Shaodian Ji and Gongsun Da panicked slightly when they heard this, where are they the opponents of Yangfeng, and there are no more than three people in the entire Commander's Mansion who are not afraid of Yangfeng.

"Deputy Commander Ding is still young, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Xun Qi is also not optimistic that Ding Kui can carry this burden.

"Defeat the Tenth Army head-on, who in the army will not accept it? Long Kun made his position clear.

The General Staff Department and the Equipment Department did not object, but the Military Command Department and the Military Judge Advocate General Department were not qualified to oppose it, and only Xun Qi of the Logistics Department remained.

"Deputy Commander Ding has defeated his own army and the Qi army, not to mention the domestic war, the achievements in recent years are obvious to all, and the fighting spirit is also worthy of the position of a general, from a selfish point of view, he is the king's most trusted general, and he is the best choice to quell the rebellion. "Shaodian highlights Ding Kui's advantages.

"The subordinates are too worried. Xun Qi found that he didn't know enough about Ding Kui.

"Is Deputy Commander Ding willing to fight?" Shaodian saw that Ding Kui was silent, so he simply asked by name.

Ding Kui is unwilling, the eldest princess is unwilling, and Shaodian Feng will not approve it.

"Subordinates take orders!" Ding Kui stood up and saluted.

This time it was mainly against Yang Feng, and he would not miss it no matter what.

"Okay, let's talk about how to prepare. ”

“......”

After the meeting ended, Long Kun pulled Jiang Xi and Ding Kui aside and asked, "Jiang Xi, what does this mean? Are you sure you can defeat the rebels?"

Jiang Xi looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Why did you Dao Yangfeng rebel? If he had already rebelled, it would not only be the Fourth Legion that was defeated this time. ”

Ding Kui's face changed slightly, and he said, "Is it because of me?"

Long Kun was silent, obviously agreeing with Jiang Xi's guess.

Jiang Xi said slowly: "He only rebelled in a hurry after the king was restored, which is not in line with his consistent style of planning and deciding, what is he afraid of? Only your brother-in-law and you are such a big threat to him in this world." ”

"Shao Dianyong dared to contain him!" Ding Kui was angry at Shao Dianyong.

He also believed that Yang Feng rebelled because of himself, but he didn't expect Shaodian Yong to forgive the person who indirectly killed Shao Dianji.

"Yang Feng betrayed your grandfather and did not directly kill Shaodianji, but only caused Shaodianji to lose the throne, and it was Zisi and that ...... who really forced Shaodianji to die."

Although Jiang Xi did not name him, everyone else knew that he was talking about Shaodian Dan.

"This time, Yang Feng took refuge in Shaodian Yong, it is possible to help Shao Dianji regain the throne, and have a chance to make up for it, if I am Shao Dianyong, Yang Feng will also have a chance. ”

"Since it started because of me, it is up to me to settle it. ”

......

In the firelight all over the mountains, two handsome flags met.

A general who looked like a corps commander arched his hand and said, "Lord Shaodiantai, this time to save Chen Yu is in my heart. ”

The other handsome flag is Shaodiantai.

He replied: "Lord Chen is polite, if our department is in danger, I believe you will do your best to save it." Now that the base camp is not safe, I think it is better to retreat to Zhenjing. ”

"Hey, I'm ashamed, I didn't expect to fall for the tricks of the dog thief in Yangfeng, and I would follow in the footsteps of the Fourth Legion without your warning. ”

Chen Yu is the commander of the 1st Army Corps, and the 1st Army Corps was surrounded by enemy troops at noon, but fortunately he received a notification from the 10th Army Corps in advance, and he led his troops to fight out of the encirclement and join the 10th Army Corps that came to the rescue.

"The Yangfeng thief is capricious and has no faith at all, and Ben will always be on guard against him, so he discovered the abnormality in advance. Yongshuai was really blind back then. ”

It's not that Shaodian Taiduo was prescient, just because he never liked the people of the Eighth Legion, and he hated Yang Feng who betrayed Ding Dao.

After the defeat in Nannuma Prefecture, he always wanted to find fault with Yangfeng when he came back, so he discovered Yangfeng's conspiracy by mistake.

Chen Yu didn't dare to say that Yongshuai was not, so he said, "Then let's retreat to Zhenjing." ”
